While I still enjoyed the story, Amber Benson's narration didn't draw me in or keep me engaged. I found myself distracted by her inflections for various characters and would end up rewinding chunks at a time because I realized I wasn't actually listening to the words but the sounds of the words instead. The plot is a bit confusing as it is so having to rewind because of the narrator made it aggravating at times. I still recommend the book, maybe just try the Wheaton or eyeball versions.
